The author of The Complete Book of Herbs and The Herbs Handbookó700 Herbs of the World, as well as the host of her own British television series The World of Herbs, Lesley Bremness is, you might say, something of an expert on the subject. This chunky little handbook is her informative, engaging, illustrated guide to more than 100 significant herbs, grouped according to their therapeutic qualities. Each entry features the herb's Latin name, traditional uses, optimal growing conditions, and ways it can benefit body, mind, and spirit. Bremness also provides guidance on harvesting your own herbs, and ideas for integrating herbs into daily life, from healing sachets to herbal infusions.
